So if I ask for one that is resident evil themed, will I the ode de rotting flesh? Or perhaps the smell of burnt zombie.

Hrm... I thought this was an article about another company trying to make an Olfactory surround system again like they did at the turn of the century.

With all the push for motion controls and action capture, Im sort of surprised that it hasnt happened again yet.

On topic? Hrm... Bad idea. Who in their right mind thinks this is a good idea?

If they made a fragrance that smelled like a new comic book or a new game manual, I would be all over that.

So basically they're going to churn out new scents like they always do, only these ones will have videogame themed labels attached.

If they can make me smell like Heihachi Mishima's freshly waxed nutsack, I'll be a happy man. No I want tell you why, and stop looking at me like that.

Ya wanna know three things I never associated with Mega Man?
Tropical Breezes, Manly Musk, and Oranges.

I'm not even sure what a tropical breeze is supposed to smell like.

Only slightly related to the topic, and I don't know if it has ever happened to you guys, but sometimes, certain unusual impressions coincide with me playing a good game, and those two things become linked in my brain somehow.
It can be a song, or a smell, a feeling or anything. It happens randomly, and I only notice it when a certain smell suddenly makes me want to play a certain game.

They should just make a scent that smells like new electronics and silica gel.

What is the point in this? How do you "capture the scent of video games"? >.>

Whatever, I'll stick with Lynx.

Kind of remind me of this (at 1.43).


Honeslty I expect the smell of Mega Man to be the small of a new game packaging.

I personally might buy some...As long as it smells nice and I don't have to pay for DLC.
